Looks like your truck is in the garage. So wet weather has no bearing on the ability to work on it. Now the cold, well you can get a space heater. The weather hasn't prevented me from working on the Dime.
I'm doing a complete motor swap in two months start to finish. Granted its already set up for the v8 but going genII to GenIII(4.8 from a truck so don't get excited) the wiring has to be redone during this time. Many more differences between the two also. I'm not complaining. Be proactive not reactive. Take all the energy being used to wimp and whine about the dime and put it into making the build happen. It's more enjoyable that way for all. See you at the Nat's with my slow POS.
Hopefully they have a "Turtle" class for me.
